Information Tech/Programming... Give me affirmation! - Off-topic

Looking for guidance... =)
I am a fifth year HS Math teacher. Undergraduate in Math- Planning on going for a Masters in Information Technology this Fall. But the thing is, I told my advisor, I really want to be exposed to many topics in the IT dept and figure out what I want to do. But then there is a part of me that really wants to go into Comp Sci and program. I'm reading through some Java tutorials now and am just very interested.
Teaching is great and I have had some of the best times and rewards teaching, but I can't imagine doing it for thirty years- graphing lines for thirty years, managing 35 people for thirty years, watching people with eyes in the back of my head for thirty years.
I want to work with adults, and I think IT can allow that. But I am curious about this programming aspect as well.
What would Xda's community recommend I do? I obviously have the mathematical mind to program and understand this stuff. I just need some direction from people who have been through similar situations and been down these paths.
Like I said, I'm currently enrolled to begin in August in an Information Systems masters program. I do have to take a .NET programming course as a pre-req. I'm also in System Analysis and Database Systems this coming semester.
Wow, thanks beforehand. It feels good to talk about this ^_^

We need to sticky a "what class should I take" thread. Get these all the time, need to roll it all up in one place.

This may help you with affirmation!

not another wiki

Well, after looking for an not finding what I wanted...I just decided to build it.
#1 - place to compare ROMs and Kitchens..with filter and sorting.
#2 - place to keep track of my own personal ROIM experiences
#3 - place to keep track of cabs I load (how many cabs do you have on your storage card you have no idea what it is)
So I built up this Sharepoint site and gave a bunch of Cookers rights to post their stuff.
I would LOVE it if I could get some Coders to post their stuff too. It's really pretty easy. And since it's not really an interactive sight...you only have to do it once...you don't have to monitor it continuously.
So, now I'm going to the public.
Here are some screenshots of the basic idea

Here are some of the cool stuff you can do with lists:
filter By Carrier
Filter By system
here's where users can track their experiences with different ROMs and Kitchens
Here they can track stuff on different Programs and Cab and such.
So....after all that...
The site is located at : http://sp.textultant.com/Mobility
The URL will redirect you there : http://TheMobilityExperts.com
Please understand that adding users is not automatic and somewhat cumbersome....I will try to process requests as soon as I can...but I just want to set expectations...It may by 24 hours or more in some cases. since I'm the only Admin right now.
Hope you like it...There's a survey out there on the site to let me know what you think.
EVERYONE can View...
there are instructions on the site for how to Join and Use
Here goes..........................

[Q] How do you call yourself?

I am trying to get hold of different names for people within this great Android Community.
So I am wondering how you call yourself.
Here is something that came in my mind when i tried to make groups to put people in.
Theoretically its made to understand what people want, what they do and why they do it.
Group: Consumer, Fanboy, Fan, Modder, Developper, Blogger, Hacker, Cracker, Trader, Dealer, Moderator, Administrator, Programmer, Technician
Motivation: Fun, need telephone, organizing life/job, i love/beeing interested in programming, modding, and so on, beeing part of a great community
So, where do you place yourself and why are you here?
Thanks for replying !
Droid Boy
PS Oh btw i am here because i love to share experience with devices, technical objects of all sort, also try to understand whats going on in our community
Hmmm...Let's see...
I would put myself in the Modder group, and motivation is that I find it fun/interesting and I'm interested in programming.
Plus, the community is great
I don't really ever "call myself" but if I did I think I would say "Hello?"

I suppose you can group me under joker, wacky, etc.
I've always been a moderator on two different websites so that's what I call myself.

[Q] I.T job opportunity

well, i’ll start off by explaining myself. I’m a second year software engineering student. The Stage one of my degree focused on the fundamental computing principles, where i stuied six modules ;- computer systems, computer communications, internet technology, software engineering, problem-solving and programming and computing mathematics.
In stage two my degree specialises to develop further areas within software engineering. Studies include formal specification of software systems, internet programming, software engineering group project and systems design and development.
Anyhow thats enough about me. I’m currently seeking a similar minded/age junior software developer whom are willing to work along side me in order to contribute towards a software solutions company, as i’ve got some funding to start my own company and will be willing to employ about 6 people as a start off to do some programming ,the more language(java,c++, javascripts, html, UML, XML…etc) you know the better, must be socialble and able to work within a group as most of the work will be team based. If this sounds interesting to you then please feel free to email me for more details with a portfolio attached.
Almost forgot, you must have some coding background before applying
Got a feeling this thread will be closed , I'll just leave this here.

XDA isn't a place for advertising, which is essentially what this thread is. Therefore:

To the owner of 50.160.169.155

Dear arvo.bowen,
Someone has tried to log into your account on xda-developers with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes.
The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 50.160.169.155
All the best,

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you stop now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.
PS: If it helps, the password is a random 24 character upper and lower with punctuation in it.
*** Is there anyway for XDA to block access to the page for this IP? I have been getting these emails all day!
Very crude brute force attempt? By now he's not even to aardvark.
haha

Hahahaha there's got to be a server registered there or something. I'm not even remotely shtting you. I've seen script kiddy attacks come that address for a couple years now. About a year ago, comodo kept telling me I had a user at (don't remember IP, I've had a beer since then) that same address. I've also looked up other haxor attempts on others and it came there. Always very crude attacks.
theres too many overly confident 15 yrs old on a redbull psychosis in this world
No need for this. I'll PM the OP

Decided For the Pixel 4 - vs all the others (Samsung, Apple, and etc)

I am very excited. I really think it's a special phone, at least from a first glance. The phones that Samsung, Apple, LG, and others put out year after year are all.. carbon copies of one another. I always choose an outsider if I have the option for anything outside of the mainstream - you know, especially if everyone has it.
I had HTC m8 when Samsung ruled Android all alone. Than I opted for OnePlus when I broke my HTC.. because, why not right? Cheap, and as good as the twice as expensive ones.
Anyway!!
That was probably the main reason I decided to go with Pixel. On top of guarantee of getting new Android OS probably before anyone else, I also like the lack of a company skin, and bloatware. I mean root does take care of that but you shouldn't need to root to get rid of apps from a device that you OWN.
When I get it, hoping the order process goes without a hitch, I will write my first impressions here.

I didn't spend much time on the forum but from a few reviews I read.. it seems pretty mixed. Some hate it, others love it. Care to enlighten me, please?
Greatly appreciate any effort to that question..
Cheers, Amer
